Twin Cities third worst in income disparity http://twincities.bizjournals.com/twincities/stories/2002/12/23/story2.html
"A new study of 2000 Census data by American City Business Journals found white median household incomes in the Twin Cities were nearly double blacks' earnings, with blacks making $519 for every $1,000 whites make." My guess for a part of this disparity, in Minneapolis, is the high school dropout rate for African-Americans. Maybe our new school board members can set goals and can tell us what they're going to do about it. Any other suggestions as to what causes this disparity in our city compared to others?
